This is a list of urban-type settlements in Belarus, which are a type of a populated place.
Overview According to a 1998 law of the Republic of Belarus,Закон Республики Беларусь от 5 мая 1998 г. № 154-З «Об административно-территориальном делении и порядке решения вопросов административно-территориального устройства Республики Беларусь» there are three categories of urban-type settlements in Belarus:
Urban settlements (; ): with population over 2,000, industrial enterprises and developed residential infrastructure Resort settlements (; , resort towns): with population of at least 2,000, sanatoriums, resorts or other health recuperation establishments, and developed residential infrastructure Worker settlements (; ): with population at least 500, servicing industrial enterprises, construction sites, railroad stations, electric stations, or other industrial objects.
